Cape Town – Employee competency came under the spotlight at day two of the Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) public inquiry yesterday, with an officer testifying that some of those who died still required relevant training.
The evidence was given by training officer, Mcebisi Ngqaqu, who has 21 years of experience working for RDM.
He testified that of the eight employees who died, five still had red arm bands, which were for employees who still required training.
Following the testimony, the families’ representative, Winston Erasmus, then asked why were the “incompetent” employees were “allowed to work with explosives and not given something safer”.
